@greghall: "Jeff Relf's octanews block account will not post to <alt.test> although it 
downloads it and you can read from it and lists it for subscription of the 
list of groups.
This is what I get using Jeff's account on my Vista laptop via wi-fi: This 
is with port 80. I also tried it on port 119 and got the same error message, 
btw.
"Windows Mail could not post your message. Subject 'Testing port 80', 
Account: 'news.octanews.com', Server: 'news.octanews.com', Protocol: NNTP, 
Server Response: '441 Nonexistent newsgroup(s)', Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, 
Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9"
My own octanews block account posts to <alt.test> with no such problem. 
Clearly the account that Jeff paid good money for has something wrong with 
how it's configured or routed yet they insist upon blaming it on his news 
reader. I wonder why they just don't look into the problem and fix it???

Sorry but Gregory Hall does not recall  writing any such thing. Perhaps you 
could provide a message ID?
